Modified Battlemax Sceptor!


This is the finished Battlemax Sceptor.  It was quite an easy mod, which yields great performance.  The mods done were 1/2 Pvc couplering, minimization, and pump handle replacement.


In most Sceptors I've seen, people like to use pvc wyes for the pump handles.  I didn't use a wye because of thee reasons. 1: I don't have one, 2: I think it looks ugly, and 3: its a waste of a good wye.  So, I used the original pump handle.  I just cut it down, and glued it on with hot glue.  I think this looks much better, feels much better, and is much easier to obtain than a wye.


I followed andtheherois's write-up on Nerfhaven when I modded my Sceptor.  In his writeup, he used a 1-1/4" to 1/2" reducing bushing for the coupler.


I plan to eventually use a hopper on this blaster, but until then I'm going to use the cpvc breech I made.


Overall, this is a great blaster to mod.  Its relatively cheap, pretty easy to mod, and fires great.  You can't really go wrong with this one.

And as always, a firing demo:
